Bernal among community leaders to be honored at César Chávez gala

Jesse Bernal, vice president for Inclusion and Equity, will be among
the honorees at the 14th annual César E. Chávez Hispanic Excellence
Scholarship and Community Awards Gala.

Hosted by the Committee to Honor César E. Chávez, the event is
Thursday, October 25, at 6 p.m. at Noto's Old World Italian
Dining, 6600 28th St. SE. A cash bar at 5:30 p.m. precedes the dinner.

Tickets are $100 per person and can be purchased online at gvsu.edu/inclusion/2018gala. Proceeds
support the Lupe Ramos-Montigny Legacy Endowed Scholarship at Grand Valley.

Bernal will receive an Aguila Award, which committee
chair Ramos-Montigny said recognizes his leadership skills and
commitment to students. Since Bernal came to Grand Valley in 2015 as
its second vice president for Inclusion and Equity, Grand Valley has
adopted a social justice and intersectional framework that guides
university initiatives and community partnerships.
